From Here We Go Sublime Image
  • Summary: This is the full-length debut for Stockholm, Sweden trance producer Axel Willner.
Score distribution:
  1. Positive: 14 out of 14
  2. Mixed: 0 out of 14
  3. Negative: 0 out of 14
  1. This is one of those rare albums that makes you wonder how you ever got by without it.
  2. From Here We Go Sublime may not be an evolution for Willner, but it's a singular distillation of his talents into one album. Mixing gauzy shoegaze, slippery ambient loops, and two-cheeks-on-the-floor bass drum bounce, the Field offers an idyllic work of startling novelty, and perhaps 'techno''s most widely appreciable offering in years.
  3. It's fair to say if you don't find anything worthwhile somewhere in this record, you probably just don't enjoy electronic music.

    If you're in to ambient, this will be one of the most incredible albums you've heard in years. If you're not in to ambient, well... just read the low scores below. Expand

    I love electronic music but this album is so overhyped it's ridiculous. TOTALLY OVERRATED!

    This is literally the worst album I've ever heard, It is ridiculously repetitive it sounds like your computer froze while playing music and its playing the same thing over and over again. It might sound alright at times but I can';t see how any talent in this music. Maybe I just don't understand it but in my opinion it should defiantly not be #1 let alone the top 10 Expand
